Things I've learned along the way.
In this lesson, I dig into the topic of Mercy in the Bible and explain how God’s mercy is one of the most exciting things for a Christian to understand. I discuss what it actually means for mercy to triumph over judgment. I also go into depth about how God giving mercy greatly contrasts with […]
This post is a short clip from a longer message that I taught on Mercy at my church late last year. I’ll be uploading the full message soon; however, I wanted to extract these 7 minutes to be listened to on their own because I feel this is one of the most important things that […]
